I have enjoyed countless of hands of 21. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have played online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost a lot of funds at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get loaded with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that blackjack seems to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets very fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years back with $750 after 30 mins using this method! And a couple of days ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the original five dollar wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Bet $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the first 10 dollar wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $20 bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the original forty dollar wager
Bet 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager $80
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $80 bet
Wager $80
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original $160 bet
If you left at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
